ls colors oddity

2003-01-12 Thread csj
On my system the colors printed by a simple "ls" (actually an alias for "ls --color=auto") differ from the colors when the command is qualified by a file name or wildcard, say, "ls -d *" or "ls configure". With either "ls -d *" or "ls configure", the file name "configure" is printed out in green.
